    We've seen a huge variety of cars in New Zealand, but we couldn't go all that way without getting our hands on the king of the tuner cars; a car that, in America, is several times rarer than even the hyper-est of exotics: Matt wanted to drive a 1,000 HP R34 Skyline GTR

      Cosmic Turban money can buy happiness, it's just that usually when someone has a LOT of money, like billions of dollars or something, they are usually either crooked, they've killed people, or they are ashamed of how they acquired the money, so they can never enjoy it and become very depressed about life. If you EARN your riches, it's easier to enjoy, and you CAN be rich, humble, and satisfied. It's been done.

    R34's are great cars, and the import ban is indeed a shame, BUT, it's not all bad, because North America DID get the Supra to play with, and it's on the same level of performance.
    Where an R34 is a 2.6L inline 6 Parallel twin turbo, Getrag 6spd and AWD, the Supra gave us a 3.0L inline 6 Sequential twin turbo, Getrag 6spd and RWD. So at least we still got something really potent from Japan. :)

    • @DynamixGTR
      @DynamixGTR Před 9 lety +81

      The similarities between these two vehicles is that they both run inline 6 cylinder motors twin turbos and similar capacity. That's about where it ends. Although supras and skyline are both Japanese powerhouses that about where it ends. Awd vs rwd isn't a really a comparison.

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  Před 9 lety +151

      enigmaPL The Supra is a great drag/GT car. But not nearly as confidence inspiring in the handling department as the Skyline.

    • @c0c0asauce
      @c0c0asauce Před 9 lety +11

      TheSmokingTire MR2-Turbo was probably more of a weapon in the right hands than the Supra, Skyline, 300zx, 3000gt VR4?

    • @tmacfan4321
      @tmacfan4321 Před 9 lety +14

      enigmaPL I think that legal R32 GTRs are cheaper than MK4 Supra TTs here anyway. They're not as advanced as the R34, but the potential is there.

    • @ferreira94a
      @ferreira94a Před 4 lety

      Blowoff valves make a big WOOOOSSH sound. The turbo flutter sound is called compressor surge. It happens when you let off the throttle and the compressed air between the throttle body and the turbo has nowhere else to go besides back through the turbo blades making that chopping/flutter sound :)

    • @Themayseffect
      @Themayseffect Před 9 lety +18

      ***** The z tune is the holy grail of JDM's. Its kind of hard not to want to imitate it, sense many will never be in the position to own it. Luckily, the JDM tuner world also offers a plethora of aftermarket trinkets to allow there cars to be as imitational* or inspirational as possible.

    • @shobin05

Just persevere.. keep your head down and roll through it. First 2 years are the worst then it should get more interesting for you in 3rd and 4th years.

For me, I'am awful at maths, but design and workshop is where I'am best.
      Also, speak to the tutors, be honest, don't make excuses, admit if you make mistakes and they'll respect you a hell of a lot more.

  • @al4ever349
    @al4ever349 Před 8 lety +30

    Why's nobody talking about the rpm's thought? The red line STARTS at 9000, and then would go up to 11000, they just don't make cars like that anymore, not even supercars rev that high, and that's what made that car Godzilla like, just watching that car rev up while i'ts accelerating is just mind blowing, like an F1.

      Pretty soon they'll suck up all the GTRs, any turbo rwd Nissan and Toyotas and completely Americanise them till they look and go like shit. Then take all the Evos and Rex's and Rotas and well be left with Maxda GTXs, Starlet GTs and GTIR Pulsars.

      AGH0STBUSTER5 cars imported under the motorex rule are very few and very far between. Anyone who has one would want six-figures for it, and even then, there's no guarantee you'd be able to register it in California. There are maybe 20-25 of these cars in the whole country, and that's an optimistic number.

    • @13Razgriz37
      @13Razgriz37 Před 9 lety +7

      Elephant He says 9 years because thats how long it will be until the import restriction will be lifted on R34s. (25 year rule) Basically, unless he buys one for track use, he wont be able to get one sooner and actually drive it.

    • @lotsaKASH
      @lotsaKASH Před 9 lety +2

      Elephant He's saying 9 years because the U.S has a 25 year import restriction on cars meaning you can't import a car unless it passes 25 years of age. The r34 began production in 1998 so it will be around 9 years until we can begin legally importing them for street use. Having one in cali is another matter due to our strict emissions laws.

    Wonder why the strut tower brace is attached on top of the nuts holding the strut top mount to the tower? Usually you remove those nuts, install the brace and then put the nuts back on top of the brace.

    • @DynamixGTR
      @DynamixGTR Před 9 lety +12

      This GT-R runs an rb30 bottom end which is a 3L bottom end out of a different cars that mates up with the rb26 head to give more capacity or CI. The deck hight of the 3L bottom end is 30mm higher than the stock rb26 bottom end pushing the head position 30mm higher in the engine bay and the strut brace needed to be spaced upwards to accommodate a taller engine package. The puzzling thing is when the owner of the car, who is an engineer, didn't accommodate for this when building the strut brace from scratch.

    • @R0yalT
      @R0yalT Před 9 lety

      The GTR comes stock with a 2.6L block hence the name rb26. Lots of GTR owners upgrade the block to 3L and hence the name (and badge at the back of the car) rb30. The rb30 block sits taller than the rb26, which means strut bars cannot fit unless you go full custom as it fouls the engine. Some owners put "spacers" to combat this and other owners just don't bother putting one on.

    • @Patrick94GSR
      @Patrick94GSR Před 9 lety +2

      Ray Tjang
      but that's the thing, the owner said he custom made it, so why would he not have made it fit properly? Even if he made it before the 3.0L conversion, having it sit on top of the nuts like that is not a proper spacer. It probably doesn't do much at all.

    • @deegan463
      @deegan463 Před 9 lety

      Patrick94GSR I thought that too. It almost looked as if the strut brace was just sitting atop the strut nuts.
      My buddy has an RB26 in his 240sx and just having the OEM Twin turbo intake pipes, they sit right under the strut brace he has touching at all times (but not too tight). I can't remember which kind of strut bar it is but it has a higher/more exaggerated angle and still isn't comfortably above the engine and piping. It is difficult to get the right brace for some cars but yeah, it doesn't look like it would do very much in the way of ridigity.

    • @paktahn
      @paktahn Před 9 lety +1

      Patrick94GSR it is probably sitting on top of the strut mounting nuts so that if he has to remove it it wont mess up his front wheel alignment the strut tower nuts are loosened to adjust the front wheels caster and camber and should never be all loosened and re tightened without having the wheels realigned or else the car mar pull to one side or the other on the road and wear the tires prematurely

  • @dolebiscuit
    @dolebiscuit Před 8 lety +6

    I'd recommend importing one as a "show car" and hang on to it until they become legal here. Because once they're legal to import as a driver's car, the prices on them are going to jump.
